After the good news from the PRD's national political commission that it would put the question on a possible alliance with the PRD out to a party base vote, Encinas now somewhat disingenuously says he has heard nothing of it, and will reject a PAN alliance regardless. So much for listening to the "people." Encinas also says the case of Oaxaca, where the PRD in a successful alliance ended the disastrous reign of the PRI, is different from Mexico State, though he does not tell us why. Wasn't the main objective to get rid of a 80-odd year PRI monopoly, which thanks to a barrage of dubious or outright illegal measures could only be defeated by a broad coalition?
I wish Encinas could be a bit more independent from AMLO; with all due respect for Encinas long political trajectory, anytime AMLO has said jump, Encinas has jumped. One can even regard his very candidacy at least partly as such; AMLO pushed him hard, in private and in public, when his utterly disastrous postulation of Yeidckol Polevnsky saw his own backers leave him.
